i used to dream of becoming and artist but then i just couldnt draw anymore i dont know my fingers just stoped connecting to the pencil and the paper, i was encouraged to first draw manga in the 3rd grade.

i did think about it once and gave up on it after thinking a while. =D
the reasons.... hmm i can't draw unless i look at a picture... and that's bad because your pictures need to vary plus you can't have pictures that look like another mangakas. == mm. and well it would take me forever to think of a good storyplot that doesn't bore people. i think a lot of mangas these days all have similar concepts and are really easy to predict. especially romance ones. ==

God no. Mangakas lead sad lives by staying indoors drawing manga like no tomorrow. I guess it can't be considered a sad life if drawing is enjoyed by that person.

XD All humans are miserable, so they do stuff that makes them happy. You really can't single something out because of your opinion, it's just wrong. All humans are sad but the ones who claim not to be hm... well, they're just living in a false reality.
